According to the website of Child magazine (via Baby Chic 101),
Bloomers Baby Diaper Cakes are all the rage for agents and execs to send as shower or baby gifts to their A-list clients. Among the recipients: Debra Messing, Julia Roberts, and Denise Richards. Decorated with silk flowers and topped with a porcelain baby block, they come wrapped in white tulle.
I've been puzzled about this phenomenon for a while. (If you aren't interested in clicking through, just imagine accordian-style tiers of disposable diapers stacked like a wedding cake, each layer bound by a ribbon--blue for the boys, pink for the girls, naturally.) Why would one want to conflate these two very different things, associated with two opposite ends of the digestive track? Is it pleasing in Hollywood to think about eating super-absorbent disposable plastic? Perhaps if you've been subsisting on lettuce and chlor-trimeton for the past decade it doesn't seem so strange.
